Bitcoin Holders Accumulate 14,000 BTC Amid $75K Selloff

Mid-Tier Wallets Accumulate Bitcoin

Bitcoin fell below $75,000 as selling pressure weighed down spot exchanges, but mid-tier wallet cohorts resisted the broader downward trend. Data tracked by Santiment confirms that network addresses holding between 1 and 10 BTC accumulated 10,076 coins across a two-week observation window. Addresses holding between 10 and 100 BTC added another 4,131 coins during the exact same timeframe.

Combined purchasing activity from these two demographics exceeded 14,000 BTC while overall market sentiment remained heavily skewed toward short-term downside. Order-book metrics on major spot venues showed persistent bids absorbing the downward momentum. The $75,000 price floor remains the primary metric watched by derivative trading desks.

Retail Capitulation And Wallet Purge

Smaller retail participants proved less resilient as the price correction deepened across spot markets. On-chain transaction records from Santiment show a contraction of nearly 109,000 non-empty BTC wallets since mid-October. Total non-empty addresses peaked at 59.99 million before the recent round of retail capitulation accelerated.

Analysts watching address churn noted that retail investors routinely consolidate smaller fractions into exchange custody during protracted price downturns. This reduction in distinct retail wallets cleared out leveraged speculative froth. Network activity metrics adjusted lower alongside the address contraction.

Corporate Treasuries Expand Positions

Strategy added 1,036 Bitcoin to its balance sheet, deploying approximately $81.9M between November 2 and November 8, 2026. SEC filings confirm the corporate buyer acquired the tokens at an average price of $79,012 per unit. Strategy now controls 850,364 tokens after investing a cumulative $64.16B into its corporate reserve at an average cost basis of $75,456 per unit.

Strive also expanded its corporate holdings, purchasing 29 Bitcoin for roughly $2.2M between October 31 and November 6. Regulatory disclosures show Strive executed purchases at an average price of $75,721 per BTC. Total corporate reserves for Strive climbed to 43,153 tokens as institutional balance sheets continued absorbing available spot supply.

Corporate Accumulation Trends Across Evolving Market Cycles

Today's development follows an established trajectory that began on November 5, 2026, when American Bitcoin Corp. reported a net profit of $126M alongside $221M in third-quarter adjusted EBITDA while holding 8,427 tokens. Public market participation during that earlier period highlighted intense corporate treasury expansion, even as mining entities executed open-market share repurchases funded by digital asset liquidations. The ongoing accumulation by corporate balance sheets in November 2026 reflects a continuous institutional absorption pattern where major entities steadily increase reserve positions despite broader spot exchange corrections and short-term retail capitulation across global order books.
